Chapter 29
“…… If I knew this would happen, I should have written it down in detail. That was definitely the ‘future’ that was coming……”“But if you don’t dream anymore, doesn’t that mean it is no longer the ‘future’?”At Alan’s words, Violet raised her head.“Then why……. can’t I see another future?”As if it wasn’t something to show her. As if that future no longer had anything to do with her.Violet didn’t really want to see such a tragedy again.However, this ability, which has consistently given hints about the future since she was young, suddenly disappeared one day and has deeply disconcerted her.“Now is the time…… when that ‘dream’ is more helpful than ever.”Alan gave more strength to his hand as he hugged Violet.“Don’t be so impatient, Violet. I haven’t lived my whole life relying on this telekinesis either. This doesn’t affect me at all. And so are you.”“…….”“It’s a power I didn’t even know existed. I appreciate your desire to be helpful, but don’t push yourself too hard.”‘But still.’Violet thought of such a rebuttal first, but soon relaxed with the warm touch patting her back.And she closed her eyes quietly in his arms, which seemed to protect her from everything. No matter how much it was said that the distance traveled was increased thanks to the magic stones, it was still not easy for those without money to leave the land where they lived.In that sense, when Gran was selected as the Lord’s knight, he was full of dreams. Of course, he knew he wasn’t going to play, but he couldn’t help but feel excited.Even the place where he would stay was the Duke of Catlan. One of the five best family residence mansions in the country!Tall buildings! Luxurious foods! Marvelous spectacles!…… he had been looking forward to, but was caught in the back by Bethel, who had been bothering him with Teddius Roelich since from the territory, and Gran only rolled in the dirt the whole time, let alone looking around the capital.Jane and Bethel didn’t let him go sightseeing in the capital and dragged him straight to Catlan’s Knights. The people there were already knights who had been loyal to high-ranking noble families for a long time, so they were already different from Gran, who had lived with the flow of water.They were also quite loyal to Liddell Catlan, the family’s only princess.To a certain extent, when they learned that Gran was a knight of Liddell’s territory, their eyes changed and they started rolling him like a dog.Even the testimony of Bethel and Jane, who had been in the same boat at Ensis, raised the morale of the knights and raised Gran’s blood pressure, who was being beaten.‘That bastard is stuck as the disciple of Sir Roelich these days!’What’s stuck? Stuck with a harpoon? What do you mean like a disciple? I’m not a disciple!And just to be clear, I’m five years older than Teddius Roelich!……although my skills may lag far behind. Anyway, that’s what happened.Teddius Roelich, who achieved considerable heights at a young age, seemed to be an idol among knights.There’s a bastard who studied under Sir Roelich? It was a matter that the knights could not stand.Anyway, due to a misunderstanding that was undeserved to him, Gran was unable to leave the mansion the whole time and had to be bullied in the name of training.After repeatedly coming to the training ground and the accommodation, Gran finally wanted to return to Ensis.Where did the pounding that he felt while heading to the capital go, and he just desperately wanted to go back quickly.‘It’s really hard when you leave home.’This thought crossed his mind.Gran, who had somehow been unable to stand by her side due to all kinds of hardships, was only then able to see the lord’s face again.However, he didn’t know if it was because it has been a while since he had seen her, but the lord looked somewhat emaciated and tired.He wasn’t the only one who felt that way, even the Duke who came out to see her off, and even the young lord showed signs of concern.“Wouldn’t it be better to rest a little longer?”“Even if I rest, I will still go home and rest.”“……isn’t this your home, too?”“I want to see my partner as soon as possible.”Liddell Catlan said so with a pale smile at the Duke’s seemingly disappointed words.Afterwards, the party moved slowly as the Duke had packed the small carriage with the various gifts he was giving to his only daughter.Gran, who was riding a horse right next to the carriage, glanced back.It was seen that the man who was second to none in the country except for the king was still standing tall and guarding this place.Whether she knows or not of the paternal love of the Duke. The lord rested her chin on her hand and looked up at the sky through the window of the carriage.“Sir Oswald.”As if noticing the gaze that was looking at her, his superior suddenly called out his name.“Yes, my lord.”“Sir…… Have you ever regretted not spending money when you should have?”It was a strange question that seemed to have nothing to do with her tranquil face as she counted the clouds passing by in a daze.“Um…… It’s too vague.”Right….. Liddell sighed and added:“Sir needs to use it when you have to. There may not be a lot of money, but there is still a small amount of money. And if there’s a novel you want to read, be sure to buy it on the spot.”An opportunity like that won’t come again……. Murmuring like that, the lord closed the window of the carriage.What novel? What was she talking about?Gran glanced at the closed window, dumbfounded that his superior only spat out what she wanted to say and left him hanging.Liddell Catlan was a
